I have included my directory tree because it looks different then the error message. I also tried updating the IDE to 1.8.5 and still the same problem. I tried going back to esp8266 2.3.0 and still having a compile version.

The main error message I am getting is: file does not exist. I am having a similar problem with compiling after updating to esp8266 2.4.0. This is very confusing though since I downloaded literally the same software.

Update: I created a new user on my MacBook Pro, and it uploads to the board just fine on the new user I made.
